A FEW days after arriving from New York, where he forged a multi-million dollar deal with HBO, Manny Pacquiao began working out yesterday for a crucial May 22 bout in the US. ?Nagsimula na akong mag-ensayo. Tumakbo na rin ako kanina at nagshadowboxing na rin pero wala pa namang sparring,? Pacquiao said yesterday from his home in General Santos City.
The Filipino southpaw, who gets at least $1 million when he fights either Juan Manuel Marquez or Oscar Larios, revealed that he will do spend most of his training days in Davao although he would surely be frequenting the L&M Gym and the newly-opened Wild Card sweat shop in Para?aque before he leaves for Los Angeles in late-March. After the fourth Flash Elorde Boxing Awards set on March 26 at the Dusit Hotel in Makati, Pacquiao will depart for the US to start training at Freddie Roach?s Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. He will be joined in the trip by cornermen Lito Mondejar and Buboy Fernandez.
